After testing a little more with the fix Bart sent above,
the allocator refactor seems to work well.
With "firmware: qcom: scm: enable SHM bridge" applied is when I see the
errors I pointed out above. All prior patches cause no problems on boot
for me.

For patches 1-9 (with the fix sent here for patch 6) please feel free
to add:

Tested-by: Andrew Halaney <ahalaney@xxxxxxxxxx> # sc8280xp-lenovo-thinkpad-x13s

If anyone has suggestions for debugging why the switch to using
SHM bridge is breaking firmware loading for me, I'm willing to give
that a try.

Thanks,
Andrew
